The end of the transfer window is rather hectic on the side of Olympique Lyonnais. While the Rhone team is waiting to formalize the Ghanaian nugget Ernest Nuamah, John Textor continues to push to enlist two players from Botafogo, Adryelson and Luca Perri. And if we trust what is being said in Spain on Tuesday, it’s not over. And for good reason, the Lyonnais could go draw on the side of Barça.

Indeed, according to daily information Sport, the Rhodanians are interested in Clément Lenglet, the French defender of the Spanish champion. The player trained in Nancy is not in the plans of Xavi or the Barcelona management, and has still not found a base this summer after a move to Tottenham on loan. The Londoners also wanted to keep it, but had not managed to come to an agreement with their Barcelona counterparts.

Clement Lenglet, free?

In recent days, there has also been talk of a return to Sevilla, and negotiations are ongoing with the southern Spanish club. OL therefore want to rush into the breach and have already sought information from the management of Barça. And the Rhodaniens could enlist the tricolor defender without putting their hands in their pocket, since the media adds that Barça could terminate Lenglet’s contract.

And this, to save his salary. But the Barcelonans would still like to secure a percentage on the resale. The hypothesis of a loan is also on the table, but it is not the number 1 option of the management of Joan Laporta. That’s not all, since the daily The Team indicates that Stade Rennais is also on the spot. Discussions will take place with the Breton club, which is looking for a possible replacement for Arthur Theate, followed by Leipzig. To be continued…
